I just received a rather bizarre email that indicated that 'Earth Day' began in 1970 as a means to bring ecology and preserving the earth to the forefront of our consciousness is a liberal cult and that it encourages the 'worship' of Mother Earth and states that Global Warming is just an offshoot of this to endoctrinate the innocent into idolatry. Your thoughts.

For crying out loud.
A "liberal cult"..."idolatry"....
It is morally, ethically, and humanly right to treat our earth well---it is where we live after all!
I have never understood how the right-wing conservatives can be so ridiculously hateful (like the first couple ignorant answers) about our Earth and it's predicament.
I happen to think God would LIKE us taking care of the Earth He gave us. Nowhere in the Bible did he state "Thou shalt treat the Earth like crap, and smear the name of those trying to make it a better place.". I mean, hello!

We should worship the earth - it is our home - we survive because of it. our lack of respect and working in balance with our own environment has caused the problems we are dealing with today.
I dont think global warming is a hoax and the international community agrees. The only country that still questions the validity of the claim is the US and that is due to our government covering up information, and from gas companies paying scientists to put out faulty reports. Its all about money.
However they are shortsighted because plenty of money can be made by going green while at the same time healing our world for ourselves an future generations.
Good luck in your search for the truth.

I wish our culture focused on Human life as much as our planet. Thousands are trying to save the rain forrest, owls, and the pink footed russian bull frog, while millions of people are dieing all around the world.
Earth Day and Ecology are great, but Human life is much more important.

Earth Day was the brainchild of US Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. There is nothing "cult" about it.
That is indeed a bizarre e-mail you received.
